The Carved Angel

Interestingly named, The Carved Angel, who specialise in a selection of luxury puddings and condiments, hail from Dartmouth, Devon.  The brainchild of Chef Joyce Molyneux, who originally named the business after a gift given to her by a local carpenter, the business now serves high end retailers such as Harrods and Selfridges as well as select independent food stores in the UK.

We tried the rich chocolate pudding and it was utterly divine.

DRINKS

Hay Wines

Based in Ledbury, Hay Wines is a family run firm of wine merchants and importers; it stocks over 800 wines and they are clearly expert in their selections.  They do their own label handcrafted liqueurs and we tried the Awesome Amaretto Liqueur – it had a real kick without being over the top and a truly sensational ‘biscuity’ flavour.

The Perfect Tipple

What an innovative company – they produce seriously stunning bottles of Sparkling Gold Sekt (an award winning sparkling wine) infused the 23 carat gold flakes, presented in an elegant gold ingot box. As they say, a snowstorm of sparkling beauty and brilliant for the celebratory gift market. We tried this and found it excellent as well as the Toffoc – toffee flavoured vodka – again an excellent product with a perfect balance of vodka and toffee.
